Saugerties woman busted when traffic stop uncovers crack cocaine

SAUGERTIES -- A Saugerties woman faces misdemeanor and felony charges after police spotted her driving in circles early Thursday.

The circle maneuver prompted Saugerties police to stop Elisa L. Williams, 44, on Lafayette Street in the Village at 1:09 a.m. Police say a police K9 search uncovered a quantity of crack cocaine in Williams car.

Williams faces misdemeanor drug possession charges on the cocaine, but when she tried to destroy and hide other evidence, she also got hit with a felony charge of tampering with evidence too, according to police.

Police issued her a ticket to appear in village court Monday.
